    Abstract: A wafer chuck assembly includes a puck, a shaft and a base. The puck includes an electrically insulating material that defines a top surface of the puck; a plurality of electrodes are embedded within the electrically insulating material. The puck also includes an inner puck element that forms one or more channels for a heat exchange fluid, the inner puck element being in thermal communication with the electrically insulating material, and an electrically conductive plate disposed proximate to the inner puck element. The shaft includes an electrically conductive shaft housing that is electrically coupled with the plate, and a plurality of connectors, including electrical connectors for the electrodes. The base includes an electrically conductive base housing that is electrically coupled with the shaft housing, and an electrically insulating terminal block disposed within the base housing, the plurality of connectors passing through the terminal block.

    Abstract: An exemplary system may include a chamber configured to contain a semiconductor substrate in a processing region of the chamber. The system may include a first remote plasma unit fluidly coupled with a first access of the chamber and configured to deliver a first precursor into the chamber through the first access. The system may still further include a second remote plasma unit fluidly coupled with a second access of the chamber and configured to deliver a second precursor into the chamber through the second access. The first and second access may be fluidly coupled with a mixing region of the chamber that is separate from and fluidly coupled with the processing region of the chamber. The mixing region may be configured to allow the first and second precursors to interact with each other externally from the processing region of the chamber.

    Abstract: Methods of etching a patterned substrate may include flowing an oxygen-containing precursor into a first remote plasma region fluidly coupled with a substrate processing region. The oxygen-containing precursor may be flowed into the region while forming a plasma in the first remote plasma region to produce oxygen-containing plasma effluents. The methods may also include flowing a fluorine-containing precursor into a second remote plasma region fluidly coupled with the substrate processing region while forming a plasma in the second remote plasma region to produce fluorine-containing plasma effluents. The methods may include flowing the oxygen-containing plasma effluents and fluorine-containing plasma effluents into the processing region, and using the effluents to etch a patterned substrate housed in the substrate processing region.

    Abstract: An exemplary faceplate may include a conductive plate defining a plurality of apertures. The faceplate may additionally include a plurality of inserts, and each one of the plurality of inserts may be disposed within one of the plurality of apertures. Each insert may define at least one channel through the insert to provide a flow path through the faceplate.
